CrowdStrike: GPs turn away patients as global IT issues hit Wales
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce93klp746po
Some rail services are disrupted and patients may have issues getting prescriptions.
Some GPs in Wales have been running at limited capacity without computer systems following a global IT outage.
Planes have been grounded throughout the world, many industries disrupted and TV channels forced off air.
In Wales, trains have been delayed or cancelled, GPs are having to revert to handwritten notes and are turning away all but the most serious patients.
The exact cause of the problem is unknown, although several firms have blamed an issue with Crowdstrike cyber security software.
